Wash 700 grams of potatoes and place them in a pot filled with water.

Bring the water to a boil, adding 2 pinches of salt and a dash of white vinegar.

While the potatoes are boiling, chop the onion using your preferred method.

After 20-25 minutes, drain the potatoes and let them rest before peeling and slicing them.

Prepare the vinaigrette by combining 800 milliliters of vegetable broth, 100 milliliters of white wine vinegar, and 50 milliliters of balsamic vinegar in a skillet and add the chopped onion.

Cook the vinaigrette for about 10-15 minutes.

Slice the boiled potatoes into even pieces and add them to the vinaigrette along with the pickles.

If time allows, let the salad sit overnight in the fridge for better flavor.

Before serving, add fresh cucumber for crunch.
